Press releases

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its latest Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risk dashboard, showing continued stability in banks’ transition and physical climate risk indicators across the EU/EEA in second half of 2025. The results also indicate gradual improvements in the availability and quality of climate-related data, particularly for energy efficiency assessments of mortgage portfolios, supporting more robust climate risk monitoring in the banking sector.

​The European Banking Authority (EBA) is consulting on a new reporting framework to support the validation and ongoing monitoring of initial margin models based on the ‘Standard Initial Margin Model’ (SIMM) developed by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA). The proposed reporting requirements will provide the EBA with information necessary to effectively perform its role as central validator of pro forma models under EMIR, while ensuring a proportionate approach for reporting entities. The consultation runs until 2 November 2026.

​The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a no-action letter on the boundary between the banking book and the trading book and shared technical clarifications on issues linked to the European Commission’s Delegated Act modifying the calculation of own funds requirements for market risk based on the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) framework. The measures support a consistent and harmonised implementation of the revised framework across the EU.

The European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA – the ESAs) today published a final report on draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS), proposing to simplify the bilateral margin requirements of the European Commission’s Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/2251.

The Data Point Model Alliance, a joint initiative of the EBA, ECB and EIOPA, is committed to making financial sector statistical and supervisory reporting across the EU simpler, smarter and more proportionate. To facilitate the integration of reporting, they launched today a public consultation on enhancements to their DPM metamodel for two months. They also published naming conventions for a consistent approach to metadata.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a draft technical package for version 4.4 of its reporting and disclosure framework, covering IFRS 18 reporting, Pillar 3 ESG disclosures and other technical amendments.

​The European Banking Authority (EBA) today launched four public consultations on proposed rules to further strengthen depositor protection, preserve financial stability, and further harmonise depositor protection standards across the EU under the revised Deposit Guarantee Schemes Directive (DGSD3). The EBA seeks stakeholders’ feedback on Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on depositor information, ITS on information exchange between credit institutions, Deposit Guarantee Schemes (DGSs) and other relevant authorities, Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) on the treatment of client funds protection standards across the EU, and Guidelines (GL) on how DGSs should invest funds collected from the industry. The four consultations run until 23 October 2026. 

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its final draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) and Implementing Technical Standards (ITSs) on material acquisitions, transfers of assets or liabilities, mergers and divisions involving credit institutions or (mixed) financial holding companies under the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD). The standards aim to support banking consolidation and deepen EU market integration by clarifying supervisory expectations, reducing regulatory uncertainty, and promoting a consistent prudential assessment framework across the European Union.

​The European Banking Authority (EBA) today launched a consultation on amendments to the Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) governing the benchmarking of internal models and the standardised approach for market risk for the 2027 exercise. The proposed amendments aim to ensure that the benchmarking framework remains aligned with the evolving regulatory framework, while providing institutions and supervisors with adequate time to prepare for the implementation of the upcoming market risk requirements. This consultation runs until 3 September 2026.

​The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published the final technical package for version 4.3 of its reporting framework. The package implements the new reporting requirements for Third-Country Branches (TCBs) under the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) and supports the implementation of a risk assessment data collection exercise by the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA). ​

​The European Banking Authority (EBA) has published today an Opinion providing guidance on how institutions can report profit or loss information during the interim period between the first application date of IFRS 18 and the first application date of the amending Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on supervisory financial reporting (FINREP), which are currently under consultation. The Opinion aims to support institutions by avoiding the operational burden of maintaining two different profit or loss formats during the transition period. It is also consistent with the EBA’s broader efforts to simplify and streamline the EU supervisory reporting framework.

​The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its final Guidelines on authorisation of third-country credit institutions to set-up a third-country branch (TCB) in a Member State.
